convergent boundary
This type of plate boundary is called a convergent boundary or subduction zone. It occurs when two tectonic plates collide, with the denser oceanic plate being forced beneath the less dense continental plate. This process can lead to the formation of deep oceanic trenches and volcanic arcs on the overriding plate.
A rocket drops back to Earth due to the force of gravity pulling it down. Once the rocket's engines stop providing thrust, the gravity of Earth becomes the dominant force, causing the rocket to descend.
As you descend into the ocean, temperature typically decreases due to the lack of sunlight penetration and heat exchange with the cold deep water. Pressure, on the other hand, increases with depth due to the weight of the water above pushing down.
A low-precipitation area on the leeward side of a mountain range is called a rain shadow. Rain shadows occur because the mountains block moisture-bearing clouds, causing the air to descend and warm, leading to reduced rainfall on the leeward side.
No, spaceships cannot bounce off the atmosphere. When entering the Earth's atmosphere, spaceships experience atmospheric drag which slows them down, causing them to eventually descend and land or burn up if they are moving too fast.
